Can I recover a recording that was erased from the DVR?
No. There is no way to recover a recording that has been erased from the
Recorded List screen. You can copy programs to a VCR tape or extend the
length of time a program is saved, though. For details, see “Copy Recordings
From Your DVR to a VCR Tape” on page 42 or “Change the Save Time of a
Recording You Have Saved” on page 44.
Can I use PIP while copying a program to my VCR?
When copying a program to a VCR, the PIP screen displays what is being
copied to the VCR. You cannot use PIP to watch another program while copying
a program to a VCR, but you can change channels in the main screen.
Can I record two programs at the same time and watch a live program on
another channel?
No. If you are recording two programs and try tuning to another channel, the
DVR displays the message shown here. But you can watch either of the two
channels you are recording, or you can play back a recording and watch it.
If, while recording two programs,
you try to tune to another
channel, the DVR displays a
Channel Change Notice to let
you know that you must stop a
recording to change channels.
For details, see “Cancel a
Recording That Is in Progress”
on page 30.
What happens if a sports event that I scheduled to record goes into over-
time?
The DVR cannot determine whether a live program will end at its scheduled
time. If there is a chance that the event you are recording may continue past its
scheduled time, you can allow for this uncertainty by extending the stop time on
the Confirm Recording screen.
Do my Parental Controls in the Program Guide carry over to DVR record-
ings?
Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in the General Settings menu,
recordings of these programs also are blocked. They will be recorded, but to
play them back, you must enter your 4-digit PIN. For details, see the “Playing
Back Blocked Recordings” box on page 36.
Can I erase part of a recording?
No. The DVR erases the entire recording.
At the end of the program playback, the DVR started playing the recording
again from the beginning. Why?
To prevent screen burn in, the DVR prevents graphics and a still image from
being displayed for too long. The Playback Status screen displays when a
recording ends. If this screen is shown for 5 minutes, the DVR begins playing the
recording again from the beginning.
